I never believed I could love someone as much as I do you, my little boy. When I see you, my heart swells and tears well up in my eyes.

I want you to be a kind gentle boy who befriends the handicapped child or who picks up the child the bully kicked down. I want you to be strong enough to find your own way. I hope I can give you direction and guidance to do the right thing even if it is not popular.

As you lay there sleeping, your face so gentle and sweet, I am wishing a happy life for you. I want good friends fun times and lots of laughs. I want a nice girl who realizes how wonderful you are.

E is for essential items to bring to a party: Cheese...mmmm...love cheese...

F is for favorite song at the moment: Beautiful Boy by John Lennon (tho' it's the Celine Dion version that I am wearing out)

G is for favorite game: To play...probably Scrabble; to watch football or basketball

H is for hometown: Seattle

I is for instruments you play: Piano and guitar

J is for jam or jelly you like: Blackberry or orange marmalade (reminds me of my grandmother)

K is for kids: 1 son (turns 3 in December)

L is for living arrangements: Husband Brian, Son, 1 small dog, 1 tiny cat in an apartment.

M is for mom's name: Donna

N is for name of your crush: Don't really have one...if I had to say either Mel Gibson or Harrison Ford or Tom Selleck

O is for overnight hospital stays: When my son was born; when I had an ovary removed; a couple times when I was a kid.

P is for phobias: none.

Q is for quotes you like: "The poor man is not he who is without a cent but he who is without a dream" - have loved that since I was a kid

R is for relationship that lasted the longest: Brian

S is for sexual preference: hetero.

T is for time you wake up: 6 am, usually, tho' not by choice (son gets up WAYYY too early). If I had a choice it would probably be 8 or 9 (one of my other favorite quotes is "I would like mornings better if they started later")

U is for underwear: Hanes cotton thigh cut

V is for vegetable you love: Garden-fresh tomatoes

W is for weekend plans: Moving and maybe going to the children's museum in Olympia

X is for x-rays you've had: Oooo...lots; most recent was my left kneecap...not broken but it still hurts even after more than a month...

Y is for yummy food you make: lots...am a reasonable cook, but I make a real mean pumpkin pie...

Crap About Me

I am an over-educated, under-appreciated, well-traveled tumbleweed. We have moved quite a bit in the past years (thanks, craptastic economy!).
I post a lot about my son. It took us 10 years, many thousands of dollars and the miracle of modern science to get him. He was worth it.
